I’ve only seen this Speidel bracelet once before. I don’t think Bulova used it that I’ve seen but it goes well with this watch.

Official Bulova price guide still shows Academy Award watches being listed as late as their 1958 price list.
1955 and 1958 Price gudes both list the "ZZ" as 37109, slightly different to the 37179 of the Craftseman...what was the dfference?
1956 this same watch was also available as 'His Higness" with a reference number of 38179. Difference is the band.
1952 would still see this as an AA IMO.
